Hi,
When I try to compile a project with Maven I get the following error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile
(default-compile) on project webserverlog: Compilation failure
[ERROR] No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are
running on a JRE rather than a JDK?
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute
goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile
(default-compile) on project webserverlog: Compilation failure
No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a
JRE rather than a JDK?
When I specify the source and target versions as 1.7 in the pom.xml Maven
throws a different error:
javac: invalid flag: -s.
Maven info:
$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 18:44:56+1000)

When I run "$ echo $JAVA_HOME" I get
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/CurrentJDK/Contents/Home.
And when I run $ $JAVA_HOME/bin/javac -version I get
javac 1.7.0_25
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>.
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/CurrentJDK ->
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_25.jdk via symlink.
Compiling project using Maven and the compiler plugin worked fine on the
JDK 1.6 version from Apple. I'm trying to compile the Java EE 7 examples
from Glassfish 4, so need the JDK 7 to work.
Does anyone else have the same problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jerry
